All Zombies Must Die

All Zombies must Die is, in a word, fun. The title gives you everything you need to know about it: you need to live, so all zombies must die. In case you care, it's a top down 3rd person shooter.

It's a cartoony styled game with a lot of humour thrown in, some good, some overused and tired, but all well employed. It also appears to be multi-player, but those type of games are for people with social skills transcending my meagre supply and, therefore, shall not be covered other than this: some quests would appear to be easier to complete with access to other weapon types, which could be carried by team mates; this makes the single player campaign playable, but slightly less than ideal.
Gimme a girl who's good with a gun any day of the week!
The game has multiple characters that can be played, either in turn, or by other people joining in, a quest driven upgrade system, and endless zombies to shoot, beat, or blow up. I found the game to be lots of fun, but the zombie genre is overdone these days, and the art style may not appeal to some people, so take your own tastes into account.

I'm giving this an 8/10. I was inclined to go 9/10, but I just don't know if it has enough going on to rate another point, especially considering my multi-player hangup. Still, a am giving this one an unqualified recommendation, especially for the price,  there are much worse ways to spend 9.99 and a few hours.
